Tourmaster Transition 3 Jacket

Comment: Nothing wrong with this stylish coat: Plenty of adjustable straps, pockets (even a double fanny pack!), and a rain-proof front zipper. I ordered another for my wife.

Tourmaster Transition Jacket 3.0

Comment: What an incredible deal. Similar jackets I saw at a dealership were over $600. I love how many pockets it has and the high quality of the assembly. I was surprised at the weight of the jacket, finding it heavy, but once riding I felt very secure and the heavier weight was nice. This is a jacket for bikers who put serious miles on in seriously bad weather. Awesome Hardcore Touring Jacket!

Tourmaster Jacket

Comment: All-in-all the jacket is great. Lots of reflection but when we received the first jacket it had a flaw on the inside of the arm, which made it too tight to wear and it was very uncomfortable. I have ordered a replacement jacket.

Tourmaster Transition 3 Jacket Review

Comment: I was looking for an armoured jacket that would protect me in different weather conditions and I chose a good one. Lots of pockets, lots of vents, velcro cuffs, and zip-out lining. It's not cheap but there are lots of jackets that cost more and provide less.

Tourmaster Transition 3 Jacket Review

Comment: I ordered by the size chart and it fits great. Lots of pockets, Vents, adjustable straps to adjust for the fit you are looking for. It has a zip out lining and all zippers seem to be made of high quality. So far I Love the jacket and hope it’s not too hot during the summer. High quality jacket at a very good price.

Pleasant Surprise

Comment: I am a woman biker, 5'5" and stocky. I ordered a man's XL (high viz) and the fit is perfect. On chilly days (62 degrees with fog and light rain) just closing the front and leaving the back vent open provides a very comfortable ride. I stay dry and warm without building up excessive heat. There is no bunching up of the fabric in the front. So far I love this jacket. It's stylish, comfortable, versatile, and durable. I am very happy with my purchase and will get one for my husband.

Tour Master Tranisition 3 Jacket Review

Comment: Great jacket!. I ordered a size larger so I could layer if necessary. Extraordinary construction with fabulous utility. The heavy liner is great for cool day. Not so cool, you can remove it. Highly recommend this jacket.

OUTSTANDING

Comment: Had the Tourmaster Transition jacket for years, been waiting for them to go on sale in order to get a hi-viz model. Can't be too careful these days. Dam this hi-viz is bright should take all the excuses from the "didn't see the bike" crowd. Jafrum prices and delivery always first rate. Fitment wise, I'm 6'04" 270lbs 34" sleeve the 3XL fit perfectly... even the arm length !

One problem outweighed by lots of flexibility

Comment: There are no shortage of vents on this jacket. Two in front, one of each shoulder, two near the arm pits, two on the lower back sides and one across the shoulder blades. Did I forget any? Probably. The other cool thing is the vents have nets so they could also be used as pockets.
Speaking of pockets.. there are a lot of those as well. A couple inside the jacket liner, a couple in the jacket itself, two outside for hands, one on the left cuff with a little lanyard clip that I have no idea what to use for (gloves clip?)...
The jacket seems well made and durable so far. No comment on water proof or not yet as it hasn't rained. The dual front zipper is nice but the top zipper has already had it's little handle snapped off. The bottom zipper is metal but the top is cheap plastic. Not a great idea.
I'm a little thick so the bottom of the jacket doesn't really close. I ordered an XL and I am 5'7" and weigh 220 with a large chest and shoulders so I really fill the jacket.
The snaps on the arms allow you to fine-tune the position of the armor as well which is great because otherwise I'd have armor on the bottom of my arm instead of on my elbows!
Good:
Pockets
Ventilation
Material seems strong
Dual zipper front with velcro and waterproof lining
Removable inner lining for warm/cool weather
Comfortable collar and cuff materials
Bad:
Plastic zipper handle broke after 1 week
Collar is just a little short to block cool winter wind from going up helmet
Bottom/gut area could use a little more room.

What is the substantive difference between the Tourmaster transition jacket and Saber series 4 jacket?

A shopper on Nov 13, 2014

Tourmaster Transition 3 Jacket

Tour Master Saber 4.0 Jacket

Best Answer:The transition 3 will have more features all the way around. The Saber is 500 Denier while the Transition is 600 denier with 1680 denier in impact areas. The Transition jacket will have more ventilation built into the jacket as well. Both have removable armor and both are water proof.

The Transition 3 had a rain liner, zippered vents & more storage pockets. All around it is a more versatile jacket. I also like that fact that I could get it in high vis. And like all Your master gear the quality is great. Check out the description of both for a good comparison.

The Transition III is a three quarter length textile riding jacket that’s
made of a highly abrasion resistant material called Carbolex, with extra heavy
duty panels in the shoulders and elbows.
It’s available in a huge size range, with available regular sizes extra small to
four XL, and tall sizes medium tall to three XLT. The fit is pretty spot on per
the size chart unless you are going to wear this jacket in cold enough weather
where you would need a thicker layer or a heated liner. Billy, here, is 5’10”
165 with a 42 inch chest, and the recommended small fits perfectly over a
t-shirt, but he would need a medium if he added a hoody.
In my experience, there are four key elements to a good touring jacket;
protection, mobility, climate control, and storage. This Transition III is above
average in all four.
Protection is achieved through a combination of high tensile strength and
abrasion resistant fabrics and CE rated armor.
Carbolex is a 600 denier modified polyester based material, so it doesn’t have
quite the abrasion resistance of say an aramid fiber, but it is highly resistant
to UV light, so the jacket isn’t going to lose strength to fading over the
years.
The shoulders and elbows are reinforced with a 1680 Denier ballistic polyester
and house removable CE approved armor components. Your back is also protected by
armor but it isn’t CE approved. The trade-off is that is instead articulated,
which makes it really flexible and you hardly know it’s there. While we’re
looking at the back, you can also see the zippered panel that allows you to
attach the jacket to a pair of riding pants. This feature not only protects the
small of your back in a crash, but it also helps to hold up your pants, and
keeps water from running down into your “whistle”. Safety can also be found in
the form of visibility. Phoslite reflective piping and panels dramatically
improve your visibility at night, as does the TourMaster logo on the back.
The second key element to a good touring jacket is mobility. Mobility is
comfort, and is achieved using three characteristics; cut or shape of the
jacket, adjustability, and the use of flex panels. The Transition III doesn’t
have any flex panels, which would be a nice addition, but the cut and the
adjustability are quite good. The arms have a gentle curve to them, and the
expansion joints in the shoulders help to keep the jacket from pulling on your
back and binding under the arms when your arms are outstretched. There are
Velcro adjusters at the ribs that work with the stretch band on the back of the
jacket to optimize the fit.
There are also these reflective adjusters at the bottom of the jacket. You can
use these in conjunction with the two way zipper on the main closure to control
the fit and the airflow. The sleeves are fitted with these sleeve take-ups to
keep the armor in place and reduce buffeting, and the cuffs are adjustable to
allow your gloves to be worn with the gauntlet either on the inside or the
outside of the cuff, depending on the weather conditions.
The third key element to a good riding jacket is climate control. The shell
construction, ventilation, and liner system are all crucial in keeping you
comfortable in varying weather conditions. The Carbolex shell is water resistant
yet breathable, so it keeps the water out, but also lets water vapor escape
through the material.
Ventilation is everywhere on this Transition jacket. TourMaster uses a similar
ventilation strategy as FieldSheer, in that the hook and loop flaps that cover
the waterproof vent zippers can be fastened back on themselves to create a scoop
of sorts, to funnel huge amounts of air into the jacket. You can use these
take-up straps to keep the vents open when you’re not reaching for the
handlebars. This style of vents can be found on the sleeves, and on the inside
and the outside of the chest. The vents on the outside of the chest have a cool
added feature, this snap on the bottom of the vent opening makes the vent zipper
easier to reach and also keeps the pull tab quiet in the wind when the vent is
open.
There are additional vents on the back of the jacket as well. There is a huge
exhaust vent across the shoulder blades and this fanny pack at the bottom is
also ventilation when the zippers are open.
The liner system is the last element to good climate control. If you unhook the
collar and fasten it out of the way, you can unzip the two way zipper to expose
the removable, quilted, thermal liner. If you unzip the liner, you will see a
fixed mesh liner that promotes airflow, and if you look closely, you can see the
rainguard waterproof, breathable liner behind it. The combination of these
systems provides a waterproof, breathable barrier that will keep you warm and
dry. The only lacking feature with this setup is that the waterproof liner
cannot be removed, which does reduce the amount of cool air you can get into the
jacket on hot days, but the trade-off is a reduction of bulk, which is
incredibly important for comfortable cold weather rides.
Storage is the final piece to the touring jacket puzzle. To say that storage is
ample would be a dramatic understatement. Again, this jacket has a fanny pack
built into it! Now, admit it. You’ve wanted to rock a fanny pack again since the
eighties, but have lived in fear of wedgie dealing bullies. Well, it’s time to
let your fanny flag fly. Now you can hide your must haves in a butt pouch, and
no one will ever know.
If you fill up the fanny and still need more room, there are plenty of other
pocket options to choose from. The front of the jacket is equipped with two
large flap style cargo pockets, and the chest vents closest to the main closure
double as pockets as well. Even the sleeve gets a pocket. If you open this
pocket up, you’ll find a stretchy cord with a spring ring on the end to hold
your keys. If we go back inside the Transition jacket, you can see that the
thermal liner is equipped with numerous different sized pockets, and the shell
is equipped with a Velcro pocket as well.
